5ghz on re2000

Hello good people.
I have e3200 router and i recently bought range extender re 2000 v2.
My problem is that i can`t see 5ghz network thru range extender.
In router settings i create two different networks:
1. "user2,4ghz" &
2. "user5ghz" and everything works fine.
But on the range extender i see only my„user2,4ghz“ network.
I read that both devices can operate with 2.4 and 5 ghz simultaneously.
What should i do?
What is proper settings for router and range extender?
One more thing,
how can i manualy get inside of range extender using 192.168.1.1 when router already uses that same ip adress?
Thanx!
PS.Sorry for my bad english.

The RE2000 should be in sync with your E3200 router. Try to change the wireless channel on your 5 GHz network to avoid interference from your other devices. For the 5 GHz network, channels 36, 40, 44, and 48 are recommended to less likely suffer interference.
You can hardwired the extender directly to the router and check the DHCP Client Table to determine the extender’s current IP address. Once done, I suggest you reserve the IP address through your routers DHCP Reservation.

RE2000

Buongiorno, un saluto a tutto il forum. Non ho molta dimestichezza con queste diavolerie tecnologiche per cui forse la mia domanda potrebbe essere del tutto fuori luogo. Su RE2000 è possibile cambiare il nome delle reti cui il dispositivo si collega, magari da un pannello con una configurazione di tipo avanzata. Poichè i nomi delle reti sono uguali a quelle del modem/router, non so a quale dispositivo mi sto collegando...Grazie e saluti.

RE2000 general setup with pictures. You pick a SSID
RE2000 FAQ says to have different SSID for 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks. So you are assigning it via the SSID to the one you want to use. Sugeuess you use WLAN24 and WLAN50 as possible names.
3. What settings do I need to prepare for the RE2000 setup?
Before you start the setup process, make sure that you have the following:
Active 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless network connection The range extender will detect and work with the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz network.
Wireless Network Name (SSID)If you have a dual-band router, make sure that the network name of your 2.4 GHz network is different from that of the 5 GHz network.
Password or Security Key For better connection and performance, it is recommended to use the following security types: Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)2/WPA Mixed Mode, WPA2 Personal and WPA Personal.

RE2000 loosing connection to router

Hi all,
I have a RE2000 v1 and a router X3500. I use RE2000 to extend wifi signal and its ethernet port to attach a small wired device behind.
Almost everyday or few days a week seems that RE2000 stop to route traffic on wifi. Ethernet device behind loose its connection to internet; my mobile phone stop to surf online if it's attached to wifi of RE2000. It's like a split-brain situation. All devices connected to router (either wired or wifi) are able to navigate. All devices connected to RE2000 cannot navigate. However, devices connected to RE2000 can see each other, so from my phone if connected to RE2000 I can reach other devices but not internet.
I do not have any suitable explaination to this. I tried to change channel settings on router, use and not use WPS, connect RE2000 to G network or to N network. No test solved the issue.
Any hint?
Stefano

Hi,
so you're right...I suspect the same behaviour. My house is split in two floors; cause it's quite old walls are made up by concrete and stones. On the upper floor where I have my studio and the extended I usually have my notebook, my mobile phone, desktop pc and printer using wifi connection.
You can see below the router wifi configuration and RE2000 wifi survey (wifi password is blanked by me)
the first strange thing in my opinion is that 5Ghz seems to have a weaker strenght than 2.4Ghz.
I've actually connected RE2000 to 2.4Ghz band.
Distance... in meters from two router is about 10 meters, but not considering the floor in the middle. Might another extender on the down floor help? Or you think that tweaking channel it's enough? I tried in past without luck but I can try again with suggestions.

RE2000 Range Extender

I relocated mt Roku to another part of my home, planning to my RE2000. I am getting two signals, one from my router and one from the extender, both with the same name. A WiFi analyzer on my tablet shows the two signals. I believe My Roku is picking up the weaker signal as it is not getting a strong enough signal, and the extender signal is quite strong. Is there any way to differeniate to the signal, say by giving the extender a different name?

RE2000 should extend / expand the wireless range of your router and it should be placed on a location from where you have at least 2-3 bars of wireless signal from the main network. If you have a dual-band router, make sure that the network name of your 2.4 GHz network is different from that of the 5 GHz. The extender is capable of expanding either the 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz band but I suggest to connect to your 2.4Ghz network since 5Ghz may have a faster throughput but range is not that far compared to 2.4Ghz band.
Once you've verified the settings of your router - and configured the network names properly, you may do a reset on your RE2000 and follow this Article ID: 28846 on reconfiguring your extender.
Hope this helps.
If everyone needs to believe in something, I believe I'll have another beer..

Memory on new iMac 3.5GHz I7

I just ordered a new iMac 3.5GHz I7 with 1TB SSD and 8GB of memory. I have two 4GB iMac memory pulls that someone gave me when they went to 32GB on their new iMac.
My question is what would 32GB over 16GB on this mac with OEM 1TB buy me in performance increase. I am thinking not much...
Would appreciate any comments.
M

Sorry my Bad..
No more than a Virtual machine ever so often, Photoshop, iPhoto, iTunes, iMovie. MS office every once in a while. Chrome & Safari for browsers and of course Mail other standard OS X programs.
The memory is Apple1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM 2x4GB so I don't expect any problems. He bought new in ~July 2014.
Thanks for the input.

Speed on 2.4Ghz network drops after enabling 5Ghz network?

I've just noticed a weird issue with my dual-band AirPort Extreme router.
I have a 30Mbps internet connection at home. If I don't enable the '5 Ghz Network Name', all wireless systems can access the internet at full speed. Once I do enable it, the computer on the 5 Ghz network still has full speed, but the others only get ~10Mbps.
At first I thought this was a problem caused by extending my network with a Time Capsule, but I have since removed that from the chain.
Any ideas what's going on?

UPDATE:
I just did a test and found that it has nothing to do with the 5Ghz Network Name. I disabled the 5Ghz Network Name and my Macbook Pro connected fine with N speed on the 5Ghz channel and had full 30Mbps internet access. My gf's computer, connecting at 2.4Ghz on G, still gets ~10Mbps.
It appears that performance of the 2.4Ghz network is slow on these new dual-band routers. My older, non dual-band, Time Capsule does not have any problem providing full 30Mbps access to all systems over the 2.4Ghz G network.
I can't possibly be the only person having this problem. Has any one else noticed slower performance from systems connecting to the 2.4Ghz band of the new dual-band AE?

A way to use G network devices with 5ghz 'N' network devices?

Hi guys,
I recently setup my new Airport Extreme in 5ghz 'N" mode - it shares a hard drive with all my Macs, and it streams large movies (some HD) to Macs, and to my Apple TV. I love the pure 5ghz N mode for its speed - it enables me to get the same internet speed result tests on my MBP from my 24meg ADSL connection i got when wired directly to the modem (the wireless G modem the company sent out halfed the speed i could get via a wired connection!)
Anyway, of course the down side to this is no 'G' network clients cna join the 'N' network, which means my old 2.5ghz G5 is too outdated, our iPhones dont support it and i cant share the printer with my newer macs wirelessly with my 'G' only Airport Express.
So my iPhone could connect to the net i left the wireless router my broadband supplier sent me in G mode - and it connects to my Airport Extreme very simply via ethernet.
Of couse this doesn't solve My G5, allow my iPhone to work as a remote for Macbook/Apple TV or share my printer...is there anyway possible with my airport express to set up a wireless 'G' network which can somehow "talk" to the 'N' network if i wire them together via ethernet?
Id imagine this is a long shot with regards to Apple remote functionality but i dont want to lose the pure 'N' speed i need, and i would like to use apple remote and obvioulsy be able to print to my printer without having to disconnect the N network and join the G network.
So anyway in bridge mode the airport express can talk to the airport extreme and run two seperate speed wifi networks?

So anyway in bridge mode the airport express can talk to the airport extreme and run two seperate speed wifi networks?
Yes, this is known as a "Dual Band" network.
Setting up a "dual band" network is described in the Designing AirPort Networks document, starting on page 48.

Problems wirelessly extending 5Ghz network with Time Capsule

Summary:
My Time Capsule wirelessly extends a 5Ghz "n" network provided by my Airport Extreme, but the Time Capsule frequently fails and stops providing Internet access to connected computers. I'm not sure if the problem is with the Time Capsule or with the Airport Extreme it's connecting to.
Setup:
Airport Extreme (dual band) connected to cable modem. It provides a 5Ghz "n" network and a 2.5Ghz "b-g-n" network. This is in the bedroom.
Time Capsule (non-dual band) joins the 5Ghz network and extends it. This is in the office, maybe 40 feet away, line-of-sight. There is a laser printer connected to the Time Capsule via ethernet.
My MacBook is set to join the 5 Ghz network, and since it's in the office, it ends up joining via the Time Capsule. This is the desired behavior, as connecting through the Time Capsule seems to result in the fastest possible backup speed.
There are no wireless devices, such as cordless phones, in the house. The microwave is NOT in use when the problems arise.
*The Problem:*
Frequently, the MacBook loses its Internet connection, though it is still connected to the 5Ghz network through the Time Capsule. When this happens, it can only see the Time Capsule it's connected through (and other devices that are connected to it) but no other devices on the network.
When this happens, other devices that are connecting to the 5Ghz network through the Airport Extreme can no longer see the Time Capsule or any devices connected to it, such as the laser printer or my MacBook. This includes the living room computer, which has never been able to complete a backup due to this problem.
The Time Capsule's and the Airport Extreme's indicator lights both stay green.
If I change the Macbook's connection to the 2.5Ghz network, it can see the devices connected to the Airport Extreme, but can no longer reach the Time Capsule.
*Unsuccessful Solutions:*
This was happening in a previous incarnation of the network, when I had a non-dual band Airport Extreme providing the main network, the Time Capsule connected via 5Ghz, and an Airport Express connected via ethernet to the Time Capsule to provide a b-g network.
I replaced the Airport Extreme with a new dual-band unit to simplify the setup, but it did not solve the problem.
Since the Time Capsule seemed to be the weak link in the network, I reported the problem and got the unit replaced, but the problem still persists.
I've reset both the Airport Extreme and the Time Capsule to their factory settings numerous times, and set them up again from scratch (no imported settings). I've gone in and made sure that there were no WDS settings leftover from the earlier configuration, as the 5Ghz network does not need it to extend itself.
*Plea for help:*
Is anyone else experiencing a similar problem?

Update
The other day, I modified the setup so that the Time Capsule doesn't extend the wireless network wirelessly, only through Ethernet (so the attached printer will work, but the computers will connect directly to the AEBS. The Time Capsule stayed connected long enough for me to do a full backup (125GB) from the downstairs computer.
I thought I had it "solved" (though extending the 5Ghz network would be preferable so the office computers can have faster backup speeds.)
But yesterday, I went to print to the Ethernet-attached printer, and it got only one page out before it disappeared off the network again, and the print job failed. I noticed it did it again, today.
So the problem is not tied to wirelessly extending the network.

New Mac Mini and 802.11n 5Ghz - Does it work?

Does anyone know if this works? It states that it is 802.11a compatible which uses 5Ghz so I am guessing it does. I don't want to have to use a third party internal card like I do now with a separate external antenna. Thanks.

I have a mac mini I purchased last week (late 2009). I run 5Ghz 802.11n only (there is a g access point in the house, but that's on another part of the LAN). I have an iMac and MacBookPro that connect to the 802.11n and the performance is great - almost half as fast as a direct USB connection - it simply flies.
However, the mac mini is abysmal. It connects fine - everything works, but I get hardly 1Mbyte per second., despite having full signal strength. This is the info in System Profiler:

MacBook Air and problems with Time Capsule in 5GHz Radio Mode

We have our Time Capsule configured to 802.11n only (5 GHz). We've done this to work more efficiently in a particularly noisy wireless area. The problem is that the MacBook Air can't maintain a connection to it and when it loses the connection, the wireless interface seems to disappear from the Mac altogether - the wireless status indicator just shows an empty cone. The only solution is a restart. Sometimes it loses the connection after a couple of hours, sometimes within minutes, though it always goes eventually. All other machines on the network are fine, and switching the Time Capsule to 802.11n only (2.4 GHz) solves the problem, though there's a lot of noise at that frequency and our network performance as a whole suffers.
I know there's similar threads around dealing with the MBA and wireless issues (I've tried all the solutions vaguely related, e.g. deleting and recreating the wireless interface), though none that deal with this specific problem, which I'm convinced is caused by the radio mode of the Time Capsule.
All software / firmware is the latest:
MacBook Air 10.5.2 Wireless Card Firmware Veriosn Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (4.170.46.5)
Time Capsule Version 7.3.1
I was hoping the recent firmware updates would sort this... any one else running a Time Capsule in 5GHz mode with a MacBook Air?

I'm running my TC in 5ghz mode with my MBA. My original problem was the lack of signal strength coming from my AEBS caused the MBA to have a slow connection. There are a number of pipes in the wall that separates the two rooms where my MBA lives and the AEBS is.
So, I hard wired the TC to the AEBS and placed the TC in the room where my MBA lives most of the time. Now that the signal strength is really good I'm not having any issues.

Time Capsule won't allow to Join to a 5GHZ network?

Why doesn't TC allow me to "JOIN" a 5GHZ network only 2.4GHZ?

Correct.. the wireless name on the TC covers both bands.. so you need to get in there and change it.
The main wireless network name is this one.. It is actually the name of both bands or just 2.4ghz if you set 5ghz.
I cut off the screenshot but down the bottom of this page is wireless options.. click on that.
Now set a different network name for the 5ghz.. and when you look at the wireless networks.. you will then see two.. TC24ghz or whatever you call the 2.4ghz and TC5ghz or whatever you call the 5ghz band.. choose 5ghz.
I do the same thing on all my routers.. I have a WNDR3800 running gargoyle so name it Gargoyle24ghz and Gargoyle5ghz
I have a Gen5 TC and it follows the same pattern.. with the Gen5 in front.
You can see also a TCgen3 which I am testing other things on.. so it has no band naming... if I join the TCgen3, I have no way to select 2.4ghz or 5ghz because they are identical names.. it will pick the best signal.. never the best speed. IMHO that makes it useless.. but I guess for some people utter simplistic is what they need.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I cannot connect to my Airport Extreme on the 5GHz band (2.4GHz works fine)...what's going on?

I have been having intermittent/no wireless success on the 5GHz band of my Airport Extreme. I'm on an iMac early 2008. It was working fine before upgrading to Mountain Lion. I have tried many things (deleting the wireless network, readding it, changing settings on the AirPort Extreme, deleting the 5GHz network on that and readding it, running diagnostics) but nothing has fixed it. I can switch to the 2.4GHz band and it works flawlessly. This must be a software problem since it only started happening when I upgraded the OS.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

No it isn't, I have tried 4 different mountain lion machines connected to a 5Ghz and it works just fine. It is with your machine hence we need to fix it
create a new location and see if that fixes your issue, If not trash Macintosh HD/Library/System Configuration
That is a folder so trash it > restart the computer > create a new location

5GHz channels no longer available after upgrading to 10.7.3

I'm currently using Late-2009 iMac and for some reason after upgrade to 10.7.3 I couldn't connect to any 5GHz network at all. In the System Profiles, Wi-Fi menu now says:

which now lacks the upper channels previously supported (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 100, 104, 108, 112, 116, 120, 124, 128, 132, 136, 140, 149, 153, 157, 161, 165); I wonder if this is intentional, if so, for whatever reason did Apple decided to disable 5GHz support for this particular build (which previously worked flawlessly)

Interesting. If you can still connect via wired (or 2.4GHz wireless), I would download the 10.7.3 combo update from apple support and reapply it. It appears the driver and family did not fully install with the update.
